Jolene was born Dec. 13, 1938 to Judson and Lovena Owen in McMahan, Texas, in her grandparents’ home. Growing up on her grandparents’ farm, she spent many happy times working in the vegetable garden, playing in the creek bottoms and hunting small game.

Jolene loved hunting, cooking (a family trait), hosting get-togethers, and barbeques. She loved spending time out at her ranch with her children and friends. She and her late husband Jim Crozier were the proud members of the Seminole Rebels Club, a group that participated in many barbecue cook-offs and social events.

Jolene loved to travel. She took many “girl” trips with Louise and her friends over the years. She loved horse races and watching tennis tournaments. She was most passionate about her family though. Her grandchildren brought her great joy. She was an avid attendee of their dance recitals, tennis matches, and softball games. Her sons were the apple of her eye and she was most happy when they would call just to visit and find out how her day was going. We will never forget her love for us.

Adlinie Ewald Rathman

Born August 4, 1939 Caldwell County, Texas
Died August13, 2013 Bastrop, Texas

Adlinie Ewald Rathman Adlinie Ewald Rathman, age 74, died on Tuesday, August 13. After a courageous battle with lung disease, the world has lost a loving mother and grandmother, compassionate friend, dedicated businesswoman, and faithful follower of Jesus Christ.

Adlinie, a Caldwell county native, was born August 4, 1939 to Herbert and Ella Rosa Ewald. Her parents worked as farmers and ranchers, raising cattle, corn, and cotton. She graduated in the top 10 percent of her class at Lockhart High School in 1957, where she participated in one-act plays and the Future Homemakers of America. After school, she went to work for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in Austin, TX.

In 1959, Adlinie married Joe Lee Rathman and moved to Bastrop county. She first worked as a stenographer, then as an accounting supervisor before the birth of her daughter in 1961. She enjoyed staying home with Gayle until April 1, 1970, when she then became Office Manager of Aqua Water Supply Corporation in Bastrop. Her career at Aqua lasted until her retirement in August of 2001. Throughout her life, Adlinie actively served her community. Perhaps this gregarious quality can be attributed to her life-long involvement in the local ranching community she shared with her late husband, including being an owner in the Lockhart Livestock Commission Company. At age 54, she was the first woman appointed to the First National Bank of Bastrop Board of Directors in the bank's 104-year history. No stranger to the First National's stockholders, employees, and customers, she took an especially active interest in the bank's events for nearly 20 years. She was gratified by her invitation to participate on the board and delighted for the opportunity to continue the bank's tradition of service to the community. Her involvement and familiarity with the people in so many of the county's communities was an asset when she joined Bluebonnet Electric's Board of Directors in 1996. Again, Adlinie was the first woman selected to the board, and she successfully ran for re-election several times. Anyone who was acquainted with Adlinie knew she was a "people person." Whether she was shopping or going out to eat, chances were that she would run into someone she knew; and if she was not acquainted with someone at the beginning of a conversation, she would walk away feeling like old friends. She loved people and helping others. She was a dear friend to all whose wisdom guided others in their endeavors. Her charitable works and humanitarian spirit, her concern for all people, and her tireless work for the community made her a true Texas first lady.

She was a member of the Independent Cattlemen's Association, Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raiser's Association, honorary member of the Bastrop Area 4-H and FFA Livestock Association, Bastrop Chamber of Commerce, and Bastrop County Historical Society.

Survivors include her daughter, Gayle Foster of Bastrop and husband Tim; grandson, Weston Rathman Warnock; and granddaughter, Joelle Elizabeth Foster. Additional survivors include her brother Ernest Ewald, Sr. and wife Alma; sister Dorothy Grohman; and numerous nieces and nephews. Mrs. Rathman was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and brother, Herbert Ewald Jr.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, August 16, 1pm at Calvary Episcopal Church, 603 Bastrop, TX. The family will receive friends Thursday, August 15, 5-7:30 at Providence Funeral Home, 2079 E Hwy 71, Bastrop, TX.

Memorials can be made to Calvary Episcopal Church, PO Box 721, Bastrop, TX.

Her undying love and devotion will live on in the hearts of her children and grandchildren as her greatest legacy.
